English to German Translation Professional Kirsten Kohlwey

Born in the USA, I grew up bilingual in Germany and the United States. I started working as an interpreter for the press at international sporting events back in 2001 and have since then become a full-time translator/interpreter/writer. I have translated everything from legal documents to cook books to documentaries.

I have a Master of Science degree and spent many years working as a software engineer. In February 2015 I became an ATA certified translator from German into English.

When not working I love to travel and explore new things, anything from photography to entrepreneurship, home remodeling to making truffles. I believe as a translator and interpreter you should never stop learning and expanding your knowledge base. You never know what subject will come up in conversation.
